I wrote about food because I love how food connects people.

Much Ado About Fooding
Much Ado About Fooding (MAAF) was published as a potluck of original recipes, chef interviews, restaurant news, and unique looks at food & drink. The project was active from 2011-2017.
By showcasing how food is about the story it tells, MAAF won multiple awards and was featured in numerous publications. Notably, it was named an "OC Blog That Rocks" by the Orange County Restaurant Association and nominated Best Blog in OC Weekly's Best Of 2013 and Best of 2014.
I was also nominated for Best Food Writer at the 2013 Golden Foodie Awards and won multiple OC Fair 2013 and 2014 awards including "Division Winner" recognition.
